In May 2022, Bristol voted in a referendum to
move from the existing mayoral model to a committee model of
governance. This will take effect from 5 May 2024.
At the May 2022 meeting of Full Council,
councillors agreed to set up a cross-party working group to develop
the committee model. This is called the Committee Model Working
Group (CMWG).
The CMWG is responsible for developing the
structure of the new model. This includes:
- reviewing the functions of all
council committees
- making any changes to ways of
working
- undertaking a range of engagement
activities with the public
